1. Welcome to the First Meeting of the An International Scoping Study of a Neutrino Factory & Super-beam Facility

2. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN A Little History –NuFact03 –2004 –April 2005 Desire for a new World Design Study towards a future Neutrino Factory - to succeed Studies I, II and IIa in the US - failed to get support Plan for a proposal to 2 nd call in EU FP6 design study programme - 2 nd call cancelled John Wood – CEO CCLRC(RAL) – requests a ‘Scoping Study’ for a future neutrino factory – and promises support

3. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN May 2005 –Meeting in London to start the process (~40 people came at short notice) –Committee – S Geer, Y Kuno, V Palladino, K Peach charged with setting up the organisation PhysicsAcceleratorDetector Programme Committee Chair Stakeholders Chair – PJD Physics – Yori Nagashima Accelerator – Mike Zisman Detector – Alain Blondel ‘Stakeholders’ still to be defined

4. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN Web Site http://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/uknf/wp4/scoping/ Details of working groups Documents Mailing List - please subscribe saying which group(s) you wish to join – or just subscribe to the general list Registration for the CERN Meeting - those registering will be automatically included on the mailing lists

5. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN Aims → Final Report A one year study –More details in the document on the web site - but primarily To review the physics case for an accelerator neutrino complex post- T2K and Nova To compare options - and complementarities - including costs –Super-beam + detector –Neutrino Factory + detector Final Report - presentation to NuFact06 and a written document Sep 2006 Result to lay foundations for a full CDR for such a facility by 2009/10 - and to form the basis of a proposal (early 2007) to the EU P7 programme for funding for such a CDR

6. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN Why 2009/10 for CDR –LHC will have produced first results –LHC will have been paid for –PEP2 & Tevatron programmes will have ended – so funds should become available for new projects But there will be many calls –Linear Collider, S-LHC…. The Neutrino Community must have a coherent well-argued plan at that time to obtain support for a major project for second half of next decade –time is short

7. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN Support The plan was presented to ECFA on June 23 (RECFA) & June 24 (PECFA) and received strong support - but ECFA has no money or resources! -Financial/Resource Support this is increasing - mostly within established programmes US-NFMC, BENE, JNFC, UKNF, CCLRC, PPARC, CERN much goodwill towards the project Negotiations are on-going for direct support --- Now we need the workers

8. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN Structure –Aim to maintain a broad geographical distribution of responsibilities – a truly international study Working Groups –Each has a Convenor who has formed a Council of experts to direct the effort ISS Open Collaboration Meetings –There will be major ISS meetings every 3 months CERNSep 22 – 24, 2005 –Provisionally JapanJan 23 – 25, 2006 RALApril 24 – 29, 2006 – to coincide with April BENE meeting UC, IrvineAugust 21, 22 (just before NuFact06)

9. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN Accelerator WG Convenor – Mike Zisman (LBL) Council –Richard Fernow (BNL) –Yoshi Mori (Kyoto) –Chris Prior (RAL/Oxford) –Roland Garoby (CERN) –Bob Palmer (BNL) Topics –Proton Driver –Target –Phase rotation/Bunching –Cooling –Acceleration –Storage ring

10. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN Detector WG Convenor - Alain Blondel (Geneva) Council –Paolo Strolin (Napoli) –Alan Bross (FNAL) –Kenji Kaneyuki (Tokyo) –Dave Wark (ICL) Topics –Water Cerenkov –Magnetized Iron –Liquid Argon –Low Z Scintillator –Hybrid Emulsion –Near Detector

11. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN Physics WG ConvenorYori Nagashima ( Osaka) Council –Manfred Lindner (MTU) –Pilar Hernandez (Valencia) –Debbie Harris (FNAL) –Ken Long (ICL) –Lee Roberts (Boston) –Osamu Yasuda (Tokyo Metropolitan) –Hitoshi Murayama (LBL) Topics –Theory –Phenomenology –Experiment

12. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN This Meeting CERN Sep 22 – 24 Aims - more from Alain, Mike & Yori –Map out the programme for the coming year for each of the groups. –More specific (& realistic) goals –Understand how to combine accelerator & detector activities (& costing) - for the physics goals –Engage with the community and encourage them to join and contribute –Great opportunities Many developments since previous US Study 2

13. 23 Sep 2005P J Dornan - ISS Meeting CERN To Conclude Following this initiative the world neutrino community has a golden opportunity to devise its plans for future neutrino activities - but it requires a very concentrated effort in a very short time So please contribute to the working groups to make it a success –Everyone welcome - Contact Physics group - Yori Nagashima - nagay@snow.dti2.ne.jp Accelerator Group - Mike Zisman - mszisman@lbl.gov Detector Group - Alain Blondel - Alain.Blondel@cern.ch –or me Peter Dornan – P.Dornan@imperial.ac.uk
